KuCoin 5.0 rollout adds Lite and Pro app modes

KuCoin 5.0, the platform-wide upgrade framed as the product expression of its "Trust, Built-in" brand initiative, keeps rolling out across the app, with KuCoin promoting it continuously on its official X feed under #KuCoin5.0 and #TrustBuiltIn. The latest push highlights a redesigned app with "Lite vs Pro" interface modes — "new look, same trust, better everything" — inviting users to update or download the app to meet 5.0. To mark the launch, the exchange is also running a limited-time campaign giving away 10,000 USDT across 200 winners.

The 5.0 upgrade spans compliance, technology, assets, experience, AI, and wealth management, including a redesigned Profile Center 2.0, an AI Assistant 5.0, the Unified Trading Account (UTA) opening to VIP 1+ users with KCUSD usable as margin, and wealth products tied into Earn. CEO BC Wong said the upgrade is meant to make trust tangible across how users trade, manage assets, and interact with the platform. Full details are in KuCoin's announcement.
